Reviews
There’s something about a neighborhood bar, you know it when you’re there. This is a perfect space with enough room to bring friends but not too large. Great sociable bartenders. Also a professional note, we were there for Knicks Spurs NBA finals and this was one of the rare bars that actually staffed appropriately for the packed bar. So sick of most places having the bare minimum staff and waiting 20 minutes for a drink. Finally a bar that understands everyone will make more money and be happy if they can get a drink quickly.
